Ingredients:

• 2 cups stone-ground cornmeal
• 1/2 cup wheat germ
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp oil
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1 egg
• pinch of salt

Preparation: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Stir dry ingredients together well. Mix egg, milk, oil; add to dry ingredients. Stir only until mixed (the less stirring, the lighter the bread).

Pour batter into greased loaf pan.

Grandma always used a cast-iron skillet. To do this, pre-heat the skillet on stove burner until hot. Spray with cooking spray and pour in batter.

Bake 20-25 minutes or until done. Remove from oven and turn out of pan.
